Application of Ytterbium Metal:

Lasers: Ytterbium is widely used in the production of high-performance lasers, especially ytterbium-doped fiber lasers. These lasers are known for their efficiency and are used in a variety of applications, including telecommunications, material processing, and medical procedures such as laser surgery.

Metallurgy: Ytterbium powder is used as an alloying agent in metallurgy to enhance the mechanical properties of metals. It is particularly valuable in the production of stainless steel and other alloys to improve strength, corrosion resistance and thermal stability.

Nuclear Application: Ytterbium is used as a neutron absorber in nuclear technology. Ytterbium can capture neutrons and is therefore used in radiation shielding and nuclear reactor control rods, helping to improve the safety and efficiency of nuclear power generation.

Packaging: vacuum package.
